How can I get at the raw bytes of the request in WCF?

Active Record Pattern and WCF: How to ensure data access methods on clients are "missing"?
I'm new to the Active Record design pattern and usually use a Data Mapper type pattern. The project I'm currently working on seems to meet nicely with the requirements for using the Active Record pattern in that the domain is fairly small and the object and database schemas are quite similar (though not identical obviously). I plan on ...
When to close WCF client?
I've put an instance of the client proxy for the WCF service into a property on the App class so I can get it from anywhere in the app. I am not closing the client, I'm leaving it open for the duration of the app. The main reason for this is that if I were to follow the // Comment in the WCF service mex page (the one you get if you poi...

Is there a way to reduce the Bandwidth taken By WCF?
I am newbie in WCF; I am developing a client server application and my goal is to execute some logic on the server side every one second. I made small client to my WCF service using NetTcpBinding because it is the most optimized way in terms of BW (I understand) as it uses binary encoding? After short tracing using TracePlus I found th...
WCF WebService / IIS Hosting & Configuration Issue Behind a Firewall
I have a simple WCF Web service. It's hosted on IIS under the default website in our production domain. (local address: 10.10.20.100) By default this default website was setup for "All Unassigned" IP's on Port 80: however, I noticed that this caused the WCF Service to generate it's WSDL using the servers local DNS name. i.e. all the URI...

Expose object from class library using WCF
I'm using a class library that exposes a few objects. These objects have a couple of properties that hold data my clients need. I'd like to create a WCF service that returns the objects to my clients but I cannot update the class library in order to add the DataContract and DataMember attributes. What is the easiest way of exposing th...
DataContractJsonSerializer and Enums
When I serialize a enum value using DataContractJsonSerializer, it serializes the numerical value of the enum, not the string name. IE: enum foo { bar, baz } Serializing a value of foo.bar returns "0", not "bar". I'd prefer it the other way around, is there a way to override this? Edit: Because I didn't want to change the ...

Setting CultureInfo on wcf service calls?
I have a WCF service running that needs to parse some data. It turns out that data (points, sizes) gets converted differently in different CultureInfo's and the parsing is spread out in a lot of classes and methods. Since all the parsing is done without passing any CultureInfo the success of the parsing is dependant of the threads cultur...
